Can anyone tell me how to get a person out of a group.

HippieChick58 comments on May 1, 2020:

If you are the Mod of the group you can kick them out of the group. If you don't want to see them at all then you have to block them yourself. In my groups if someone has blocked me, then they can't be in my group because I need to be able to see what they're posting. So I carry my personal blocks to my groups as well. At one time I unblocked everyone, and that lasted about 3 months.

Last year I introduced my 2.5 year old granddaughter to the pleasures of tomatoes right off the vine. She loved it!! This year I'm hoping to introduce my grandson to those same pleasures, he just turned two last week. With this COVID I'm not sure when I will have the pleasure of their company again. I would love to have a greenhouse, but alas.

My middle kid told me that any man I dated should not be more than 13 years younger than I am. She thought they should be closer to my age than to her sister my firstborn,who was born when I was 27. I just laughed because I never really have looked for younger men, and I just didn't bother to tell her about the younger men I did date, but those relationships did not last long. Right now it is not so much age as health/frame of mind, but I still don't look for younger men. When my mom died my dad was 47, and he made great efforts to avoid younger women. He did NOT want to raise another family. He did choose an older woman, she was 2 years older than he was, but he did not marry well. That marriage was hell from beginning to end.

Fifty Thousand Americans Dead from the Coronavirus, and a President Who Refuses to Mourn Them | The ...

HippieChick58 comments on Apr 25, 2020:

By Susan B. Glasser April 23, 2020 Healthcare workers wheel deceased people to a refrigerated trailer. To the extent that President Trump discusses those who have died, he does so in self-justifying terms, framing the pandemic as an externally imposed catastrophe that would have been worse without him. In just the past few days, President Trump has blamed immigrants, China, the “fake news” and, of course, “the invisible enemy” of the coronavirus for America’s present troubles. He has opined extemporaneously about his plans to hold a grand Fourth of July celebration on the National Mall and has announced that he planted a tree on the White House lawn in honor of Earth Day. He has offered his opinion on matters small and large, bragged about himself as “the king of ventilators,” and spent much time lamenting the pandemic-inflicted passing of what he invariably (and inaccurately) calls “the greatest economy in the history of the world.” Despite the flood of words, though, what has struck me the most this week is what Trump does not talk about: the mounting toll of those who have died in this crisis. So voluble that he regularly talks well past dinnertime at his nightly briefings, the President somehow never seems to find time to pay tribute to those who have been lost, aside from reading an occasional scripted line or two at the start of his lengthy press conferences, or a brief mention of a friend in New York who died of the disease soon after calling him at the White House. “He said, ‘I tested positive.’ Four days later he was dead,” the President recounted. “So this is a tough deal.” It was not exactly the prayerful, if often politically expedient, mournfulness Americans generally expect of their elected leaders. Trump, for the most part, dispenses even with the ritualistic clichés that other politicians, regardless of party or creed, have always offered in times of crisis. The New Yorker’s coronavirus news coverage and analysis are free for all readers. But the numbers are the numbers, and, notwithstanding Trump’s relentless happy talk, the coronavirus epidemic has, as of this week, already produced some fifty thousand American dead. This is not, needless to say, a best-case scenario, or anything close to it. Just a few weeks ago, a survey of scientific experts predicted forty-seven thousand U.S. dead by the beginning of May, according to the Web site FiveThirtyEight. Instead, forty-seven thousand deaths were recorded by this Wednesday, April 22nd, well before the experts had anticipated. On April 8th, a leading model at the University of Washington had revised its projections downward to forecast a total of sixty thousand American deaths by the beginning of August. But the nation now looks to hit ...

HippieChick58 comments on Apr 25, 2020:

https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/hide-and-seek/201206/depressive-realism While people with depression can suffer from cognitive distortions, the scientific literature suggests that those with only mild-to-moderate depression can also have more accurate judgment about the outcome of so-called contingent events (events which may or may not occur), and a more realistic perception of their role, abilities, and limitations. This so-called 'depressive realism' may enable a person with depression to shed the Pollyanna optimism and rose-tinted spectacles that shield us from reality, to see life more accurately, and to judge it accordingly.
